It’s not bad. Athletic’s draw on Friday against Granada in San Mamés helped them close a point behind Atlético de Madrid, fourth in the qualifying table. Yesterday Simeone’s men had the chance to leave the lions six points behind, but to do so they needed to win at Mendizorrotza. Alavés, however, ended up winning 2-0, so the lions shaved a point off the Colchonero team and the difference between the two remains at three.
Valverde’s side visit the Metropolitano on Saturday depending on themselves to regain the Champions League place they had after beating Alavés in San Mamés before the last league break. The lions also know what it means to win this season in the Colchonero fiefdom, as they won the first leg of the Cup semifinals 0-1. Success to which we must add the two recorded in San Mamés: 2-0 in the Liga and 3-0 in the second leg of the semi-finals.
